Plants Cover The Earth. The Carboniferous Period of the Paleozoic Era began 354 million years ago. It lasted for about 64 million years, until 290 million years ago. The name âCarboniferousâ came from the large amounts of carbon-bearing coal that was formed during the period.In the United States, the Carboniferous is divided into two epochs.he End of The Carboniferous Period. The end of the Carboniferous period is marked by global climate changes due to the glaciers that covered the South Pole. The mass extinctions that mark the end of other geologic periods were not present, yet many species did go extinct during this time.
The Permian period lasted from 299 to 251 million years ago* and was the last period of the Paleozoic Era. The distinction between the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic is made at the end of the Permian in recognition of the largest mass extinction recorded in the history of life on Earth.n 1994, Jin et al. proposed a worldwide stratigraphy of the Permian Period made up of four series/epochs: the Uralian, the Chihsian, the Guadalupian, and the Lopingian. In the early 2000s, work by Jin and others resulted in the stratigraphy currently accepted by the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
